3D food printing may revolutionize the food and beverage industry โ allowing creators to offer unique taste experiences and helping restaurants produce detailed designs faster. While there are no specific regulations for 3D-printed food, using ingredients that the FDA already recognizes as safe ensures the food is fit for consumption.
In this chapter, we describe the current 3D printing techniques applied to design food materials. They are classified according to the driving mechanisms of printing: inkjet, extrusion and heat source (powder layer binding). The deposition of liquid-based materials can be performed via extrusion and inkjet processes.Short answer is: no. Long answer: Not even with coatings, as the resin can interact with the coating, apparently. And any reliable coating, might also be toxic for the reptiles and amphibians (especially when becoming damaged, or exposed to water or other solvents and enzymes). It's better to use it for casting in a more food-safe material.IyMDdq.
